George Bush is the PDA player of the month

The text below is a reprint from PDA where
George Bush is featured as the PDA Player of the Month.
George Bush also represents GameColony.com at PDA land-based competitions/events.
"George Bush entered the Professional Domino Association with questions about his name "George W. Bush". The attention soon turned from George's name to his game which initially was not going well.
The unique thing about this George Bush, however, is that when his back was against the wall ...he reached out to help other people and together with Richard Harris (#11 in the world) has quietly donated his time to going to children’s hospitals in every city that the PDA Tour travels.
George says, “Going to visit these children & playing dominoes with them allows me to spend time playing with the real champions, THE CHILDREN! I have children of my own and that’s the support that I would want if my kids were in their position.”
Needless to say, Mr. Bush has been a very proactive member of The PDA and a model human being. Oh, by the way… HE FINALLY GOT INTO THE MONEY ROUNDS! This weekend in Atlanta, George placed 4th and took home $2500.00. He is ranked # 15 in the world and plans to be all over the money in the 2006 PDA Tournament of Champions in Las Vegas on August 25th & 26th.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
